I just had to! Make more with clickbank after 1 week than I did before with Zango, CPA Lead TOGETHER! 1. Find a niche product for your visitors 2. Create a nice looking banner 3. Cloak your links 4. Play with ad placement (over the fold, close to content) 5. Profit!!
Dan, i preach that all the time. CB is awesome. You can get awesome niches and products. Promotion is easy. I like setting up Squidoo lenses and blogs, and then i buy banner space on related sites --> Profit. I <3 clickbank
what kind of conversion rate did you get? how much better compared to zango/cpalead? since you are comparing to zango/cplead, I assume your site is streaming video?
I've tried promoted CB products via banners on some of my niche sites. Never worked for me, but glad to hear it's working out for you. Congrats
Quite the contrary for me; I've made 4 seperate sites for different niches, and have yet to make a sale in nearly two months. Don't even tell me these are crappy sites that don't convert. I've had plenty people look over them and they say they are great.
Nope, that doesn't either. However that obviously depends on how targeted your "targeted" visitors actually are.
Straight from Google or Ezine; besides of course the few stray people who visit my link on this forum.
Ok I guess I wasn't clear enough. Visitors from google and ezinearticles can be either HIGHLY targeted or NOT targeted at all. Why? If you've ever been using AdWords you know that some keywords convert better then other keywords, and some keywords don't convert at all. Another problem is in "general" targeting instead of niche specific long tail marketing. For example, keyword "make money" won't convert nearly as well as "buy ebook on how to make money". See even on the keyword level you can make a simple mistake and it will be responsible for no sales. And even if you get this part of the sales process right you might still fail to make sales because you might screw it up on some other level...
As you're only using banners and not a specific sales page you won't get as great conversions as you could do. Nice work though
The secret is having so huge traffic and you can sell anything at your blog or website.I have experienced it but you need to hard work first build the traffic.
Targeted traffic is all that matters. Free traffic can sometimes be very untargeted , it all depends how the promotions are made. Some great tips in this thread. Thanks guys
Agree with Mikey. You may be getting sales now but you would getting more sales with text links to promote the product which you could include in a review or other parts of content where it makes sense. Like trying to sell to the visitor twice?
No. Here is how we go about selling: 1. Find a market with a specific need. 2. Find a product that suits this markets need. 3. Find keywords this market searches for to fulfill this need. 4. Make a match with the keywords and your site. 5. Create a pre-sales/sales letter for the product you are selling. Now, you can find a market, product and the right keywords they use but if your site is not a match to their needs and if the sales letter sucks you won't sell anything. You might get 1.,2. and 3. perfect but if steps 4. and 5. aren't a match with your market the sales process simply won't work. Get it?
Yep, I get it. My question was more in relation to an affiliate site. You want to do a good job of pre-selling the visitor instead of trying to sell to them and then sending them to the sales page which will do the same thing.
Exactly. Your job as an affiliate is to make them curious about the product and to start wondering about it. Ideally you should sell everyone on your page but you don't have nor time nor the mass of visitors to find what sells them the best. However, you can trust that the publisher can do that and that his sales letter is efficient in conversion of his visitors. So what you do is to elicit curiosity from your visitor so that when you send them to a landing page they will take time to read the sales letter. And this is all you want to do because if they read the sales letter and the product matches their needs they WILL buy the product.
